I removed the bolt on top of the tranny after cleaning the area real good and the fluid just sailed in. After 4 quarts were in it I ran it and operated the lift and checked the level and only had to add about a half quart more.

Why would you want a C-175 if you just bought that 314-8? B)

:whistle: i bought a c175 a few months ago with a tiller, snow plow, weights, mower, and this thing tills my garden excellent, . the only problem i have i want to drain the hydro and clean it out, thought about flushing with diesel then refilling with new oil, has a filter also, do you think using diesel will ruin the hydro, also i have trouble getting oil into the hydro because the small tube keeps bubbleing over, guess i'll have to come up with a small funnel with a long neck.

Follow the link in the second post of this topic, Jerrell. The hydros "air lock" and cause the bubbling you're referring to. Removing that one bolt allows the displaced air to escape.

There shouldn't be any reason to flush the transaxle unless you KNOW it is contaminated. It would be best to diassasemble and clean correctly if that's the case. Otherwise, a simple filter and fluid change should be enough. B)
